Cole Palmer scored twice from the penalty spot as Chelsea came back from two goals down after 11 minutes to beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 in a London derby. The win closes the gap on the Premier League leaders, Liverpool.
Two mistakes by Chelsea full-back Marc Cucurella led to Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski giving the hosts a flying start, but their delight turned to disappointment as the visitors showed why they should be considered title contenders.
Jadon Sancho scored a great goal after 17 minutes to give Chelsea the momentum, and Palmer equalised from the penalty spot just past the hour mark as Chelsea dominated the second half.
Enzo Fernández scored to put Chelsea ahead, and Palmer made it 3-1 with his second penalty late on. Son Heung-Min got one back in the last few minutes.
Chelsea are currently in second place with 31 points from 15 games, four points behind Liverpool. Due to high winds, their game at Everton was postponed on Saturday.
Tottenham's second defeat of the week left them in 11th place with 20 points, and the pressure is mounting on manager Ange Postecoglou, who had to cope with losing centre back Cristian Romero to injury early on.
Chelsea have gone seven games without a loss and have won their last four Premier League matches. They're also the top scorers in the division with 35 goals, and Palmer is playing really well.
He's now got 50 goal involvements (33 goals and 17 assists) in 48 Premier League games for the London club since he joined from Manchester City.
